    I'm not arguing. Don't most competitions have rules about not entering on behalf of somebody else?

    I'm gonna point out any one I see that looks like cheating because a lot of honest people on here spend their time comping. Same way I called out Blackberry when they cheated everyone with a false prize and false winner, and reported them to the standards agency.

    My comping Karma has been pretty good recently. Had a WEM today so maybe my honesty & helping others is working in my favour?


    what was the deal with blackberry? what were they pretending to offer as a prize?

    Cannot remember the exact full details now as it was a while back but they were giving away phones and the last winner they chose I checked out their Twitter page and it was some new bogus set up account, no picture, no tweets, wasn't even following Blackberry nor did it have any followers. Complained about it to Blackberry, they didn't bother replying, other people clocked onto it and started looking up the name and thought it matched a name that worked for a competitions promotion company connected to them. Was also reported to the standards agency, which I think Blackberry gave some excuse about them not receiving a reply from the winner and picking a new one... Was all shambolic.
